CARGO & ACCESSORY COMPARTMENTS INTRODUCTION (1)

Accessory Compartments The avionics equipment is installed in two compartments: - The main avionics compartment located in the forward section of the fuselage, below the cockpit and the flight crew rest area, - The upper avionics compartment located behind the crew rest area, at the level of the upper deck. The main avionics compartment contains the normal electrical power center and most of the systems computers; it is accessible: - From the cockpit, through a hatch. The upper avionics compartment contains the emergency electrical power center, some ultimate emergency equipment and most of the In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) equipment; it is accessible through a door, from the upper deck cabin.L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM50Z1000000001

CARGO COMPARTMENTS PRESENTATION (1)

General The aircraft has three lower deck cargo compartments in the lower part of the fuselage. They are: - The forward cargo compartment, - The aft cargo compartment, - The bulk cargo compartment. The forward and aft cargo compartments are equipped with an independent operated semi-automatic Cargo Loading System (CLS) and can accommodate cargo in containers or on pallets. The bulk cargo compartment is designed for transportation of bulk cargo, passenger luggage and live animals. Access to the forward, aft and bulk cargo compartments is gained through doors located on the right hand side of the fuselage. Two hydraulically operated outwards opening doors give access to the forward and aft cargo compartments. The bulk cargo has one manually operated door, which opens inwards. The three compartments have bilge drains.L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM50P1000000001

Cargo Compartments Interior And Lining The inside of the cargo compartments has: - Floor panels, - Ceiling panels, - Side linings, - Partition walls. All the linings and panels are sealed to give a fully sealed compartment for fire containment and extinguishing. Rapid decompression panels are installed flush in the sidewall linings to prevent damage from differential pressure. In case of decompression in the cabin or in the cargo compartment, they equalize the pressure in both sections, to avoid damage to the structure. Access panels are installed for the maintenance of components located behind the linings. The bulk cargo compartment has nets to separate the bulk and the aft compartments.L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM50P1000000001

Cargo Compartments Capacity The standard configuration embodies a "block" arrangement of Unit Load Devices (ULDs) providing for 20 x LD3 containers or a combination of 7 x 88" or 96" x 125" pallets in the FWD Cargo Compartment, and 16 x LD3 containers or a combination of 6 x LD3 containers and 3 x 88" or 96" x 125" pallets in the AFT Cargo Compartment. As an option, a Pallet Turning Unit capability can be installed. 3 additional 88" or 96" x 125" pallets can then be arranged lengthwise in the tunnel area of the AFT cargo compartment, in lieu of the 6 LD3 containers. The bulk cargo compartment can only be loaded with bulk and loose baggage. The usable volume of the bulk cargo compartment is 14.3 m3 (505 ft3) and the maximum load capacity is about 2541 kg (5602 lb). A divider net separates the bulk cargo compartment from the aft cargo compartment.L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM50P1000000001

CARGO LOADING SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

General Both the forward and aft cargo compartments have an independent semi-automatic Cargo Loading System (CLS), electrically powered and controlled from an Outside Control Panel (OCP) and an Inside Control Panel (ICP) with joysticks.L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM50P2000000001

CARGO LOADING SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

Cargo Loading System One person, through inside and outside control panels can operate the CLS. The semi-automatic cargo loading systems of the forward and the aft lower deck cargo compartments are similar in construction and work independently. The CLS has: - Inside and outside control panels, - A power switch, - A compartment Control Box (CCB), - Sector Control Boxes (SCB), - Power Drive Units (PDUs), - Proximity switches located on different latches, - Mechanical components as: latches, guides, rollers, ball units. The CLS works only if the power switch is set to ON, the aircraft power is available and the manual door sill latches are down. The control panels send electrical signals through the CCB and SCB to the applicable PDU. The PDUs move the Unit Load Devices (ULDs) in the necessary direction and to their loading position. When the ULD is in the correct loading position, you must lock the latch manually. The locked latches electrically isolate the related PDU.L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM50P2000000001

The CLS is connected to the aircraft Onboard Maintenance System (OMS)

to report system/component failures. If there is no electrical power available, it is possible to load or unload the cargo compartments manually.
